curl error is fatal (no redownload attempt)

[RubenKelevra]

Affected Version

paru v1.10.0 - libalpm v13.0.1

Description

I noticed that paru doesn't recovery from a partial download of a source file. Curl complains that there's still stuff to fetch, and the connection got closed, but paru will just hard fail upon this issue and go to the next package. Can we try to continue the download if something like this happens?

Output

Simple paru -S $packagename:

This is makepkg downloading so nothing can be done. I think it may resume the download at least.

Well, is there a way we could fetch the files "manually" and place them in the folder, instead of having makepkg calling curl? This would allow us to retry and resume.

This would also solve this issue:

Same as the linked issue. Make a feature request on makepkg.
